Fix missing assistant messages in context window

Browse Source 
Bug: When the LLM responded with text-only (no tool calls), the assistant
message was sometimes not saved to the context window. This caused consecutive
user messages where the LLM would lose track of previous responses.

Root causes found and fixed:

1. Early return path (line ~2535): When stream finishes with no tools executed
   in previous iterations (any_tool_executed=false), the code returned early
   without saving the assistant message. Fixed by adding save before return.

2. Post-loop path (line ~2657): When raw_clean was empty but current_response
   had content, no message was saved. Fixed by falling back to current_response.

Both paths now properly save the assistant message before returning.
The assistant_message_added flag prevents any duplication.

Added tests:
- missing_assistant_message_test.rs: verifies the fallback logic
- assistant_message_dedup_test.rs: verifies no duplicate messages
- consecutive_assistant_message_test.rs: verifies alternation invariant
